First name I thought of when I saw the thread title was Iris. See it’s already been mentioned. I think it goes well with Mabel.

Another vote for Flora or Ada

Waterlemon · 28/04/2019 22:15

I love all of your names but prefer Nell to Nelly and actually knew a Netty that was her actual name and not a nickname.
And Flora rather than Florence (too popular)

Edie
Annie
Martha
Mary
Joyce
Susan (so many baby boomers with this name it’s got to be due a revival)
Joan/Joanie
Trudy

Florence olive or Nellie for me - but I prefer nell to nellie, and I think it actually gives a bit more of an old fashioned vibe!

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 28/04/2019 23:56

Oh and another one to add - someone I know had a girl called Nella which you might also like?

Fantastic name.

I think Nelly is sweet but I think I prefer it as short for Eleanor or Penelope
